Mario Fioretti, Ettore Messina’s historic first assistant (together in the photo), was very close to the Pallacanestro Reggiana bench in June. At least for a few hours. When coach Dimitris Priftis had not yet resolved his reservations about the Unahotels proposal, Coldebella had in fact asked for availability from the Armani coach who he will find as his opponent this evening. Legend has it that in the break between game 3 and game 4 of the championship finals with Bologna, with Olimpia Milano stationed under the Due Torri, the general manager of the red and whites and Fioretti had already made an appointment to sign the contract, but then a phone call of Priftis at dawn – with the Greek coach announcing that he had accepted the Unahotels project – would have blown everything up.
‘Details’ and dynamics that perhaps will never be confirmed, but what is certain is that Fioretti himself presented tonight’s big match: “We are playing against a team that comes from two more than convincing victories – explained Messina’s right-hand man – The way we will handle the ball and find good offensive solutions, against the aggressiveness of Briante Weber and their defenses, including tactical ones, will determine the quality of our defensive transition, which will be one of the most important keys of the match. In our half field, we will have to be compact against the talent of players like Galloway, Smith, Vitali and Hervey.”
